At this point, it’s clear that the Barbie movie is something that nearly everybody loves. The movie has not only made $1 billion at the global box office, making Greta Gerwig a record breaker. But it’s done so incredibly quickly, showing how wide the audience is for the movie that is so much more than a story of a doll. Even animal rights groups are on board with Barbie because Ken doesn’t wear real fur.
Even if you haven’t seen Barbie in its entirety, if you’ve seen any of the trailers for Barbie, then you’ve likely seen Ryan Gosling as Ken in an absolutely epic fur coat. He wears it through a significant part of the movie as part of the transformation of Barbieland that he has instigated after being exposed to the real world. Normally an animal rights group like PETA would take a very public issue with something like that, PETA is not shy about speaking out against even the appearance of animal cruelty in films, but TMZ reports they are supportive because the fur is fake mink.
